Who says you gotta move the Rays out of the AL East? They’re fitting in just fine. WEEI’s Alex Speier just passed along this quote from Joe Madden:

“The Red Sox have got the
Nation. The Yankees have the universe. We’ve created The Rays Republic.”

I like it! But why stop there?

How about the Cubs Constitutional Monarchy! The Athletics Anarchy! The Mariners Military Junta! The Diamondbacks Demarchy! The Giants Gerontocracy would actually be pretty appropriate for that team. As would the Dodgers Kelptocracy. The Orioles Oligarchy! The Twins Timocracy! The possibilities are endless!

Wait, that’s not true. We can pretty much stop this nonsense any time now.

Craig, you got it wrong. It is clearly the “A’s Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune” whereby players and fans alike take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week.

I can’t believe you missed that…
